The current status of the National Referral Hospital reflects the kind of Health System we have in the country. The National Referral Hospital is not a new issue, but one that continues to be debated year after year. The National Referral hospital is just like any other employer. It has its own culture and work…
GRML was wrong all a long… The abandonment by Gold Ridge Mining Ltd (GRML) of their investment in Solomon Islands comes as no surprise to most critical observers. St Barbara, the owners of GRML, came into the Solomons two years or so ago, with an ill-conceived concept of how to operate in a developing nation.…
Dear Editor – The West Honiara Council (WHC) would like to affirm its stand that there were voters from other constituencies who have no connection to West Honiara by work, business, community or land, who registered in the constituency. This is evidence that the SIEC must work on. The WHC is certain the more than…

Everyone has a downside in life. But it is advisable not to dwell on your weaker side of life when you want to make that leap in life. The feeling you’ll get if you do so is discouragement. That brought to my mind one question, should I point someone in the eye to tell him…
Dear Editor – It is with surprise that I read in your paper last Friday how well a group that called themselves West Honiara Council architected claims to spoil the MP. Namson Tran during his term has helped us communities in the constituency in many ways. He helped the youth up to women’s and church…
Dear Editor – Thank you for a space in your paper to express some thoughts on the mudslinging between the PMO and former journalist Alfred Sasako.
